Franklin Furnace has served as a repository for archival materials of presses that have gone out of business, catalogues of artists it has presented, and publications that came our way for all sorts of squirrelly reasons. We pledged to give these titles away as membership premiums. But, if for research or interest you wish to consult any of these publications, Franklin Furnace will provide them to you for the direct cost of staff time to retrieve copies from our document storage in Brooklyn, plus postage.
